# Your first HR win: PTO that runs itself

All of it automatic. None of it in your inbox.

Every balance, request, and approval in one place. No more forensic accounting in the spreadsheet, or chasing records the HR portal swears it has.

One source of truth, finally

Right now the PTO rules live in someone's head. Write them down once, and the system applies them the same way for everyone.

Unwritten rules become real policy

If requesting a day off needs a login nobody remembers, people just ask you instead. Here, requests and approvals happen in the chat tool your team already uses.

Stop being the PTO help desk

Balances, usage, and upcoming time off in clean exports. Ready for payroll, planning, or the board deck.

Walk into leadership meetings with answers

Spreadsheets get ignored, and the big HR suite gets avoided. Vacation Tracker is the layer that just handles leave, in the tools your team already opens every day.

The PTO cleanup that takes a week, not a quarter

Book 30 minutes with Daniela and see your own leave policy running in Vacation Tracker. Then spend the quarter on the work you were actually hired for.
